Xaffo Updated for Brand-Centric Social Media Monitoring and Analytics

The Xaffo Social Media Monitoring Tool Now Lets Subscribers Manage Brands for Social Media and Web Page Analytics; New Sign up Process Also Debuts

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 13, 2012) - Calcey Technologies® today announced two feature updates for Xaffo™, the online social media monitoring tool for businesses to intelligently examine social media activity for their brand's web and social media pages. The first update helps businesses achieve more brand-centric social media analytics. Users can create brand names within Xaffo to manage web and social media properties under that brand. The second update allows users to create a Xaffo account instead of using OpenID®.

Xaffo's new brand-centric approach makes it easier for subscribers to analyze their social media activities by brand. Users can now create a brand and manage web and social media pages under that brand. Users can create multiple brands to manage web and social media properties per brand more efficiently. For example a user can create the brand 'ACME' and assign a web domain to it. Xaffo then tracks daily performance -- across leading social networks -- for the top 100 web pages. The user can also add their social media profiles for Facebook® and Twitter® under that brand. This can then be done for another brand, and so on.

"Marketers think from a brand-centric viewpoint, not a URL-centric viewpoint," said Mangala Karunaratne, Founder of Xaffo. "Enabling our users to maintain their brands instead of website domains strengthens Xaffo's capabilities for centralized analytics. This makes Xaffo a more powerful social media monitoring tool for small business or enterprise subscribers."

In addition, users have requested to be able to use a Xaffo account instead of requiring the use of an OpenID account. Xaffo now offers its own sign-up process to let users create a Xaffo account in place of requiring OpenID. The new sign up process simply requires your first name, last name and email address.
